Pros

I loved worked for the university and the people I worked with were very kind and supportive.

Cons

However the workload was completely unmanageable. I felt like I was working three jobs in one and when I tried to express my concerns regarding this, HR just told me that maybe this wasn't a good fit. I was trying to explain that they needed to hire more people to help support the team so the workload could be distributed evenly but they just insisted it was a fit issue and didn't recognize how unreasonable it was to ask someone to take on so much work.

Pros

My job with the Columbia Population Research Center is fully remote, which is a great perk. I can also create my own schedule and work any day of the week.

Cons

The pay could be better.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
